Instructions
Crafting Creamy Spicy Lobster Pasta is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
3. Add the Lobster: Stir in the chopped lobster meat and cook for about 2-3 minutes until heated through.
4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, then add the red pepper flakes, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.
6. Finish with Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until everything is well combined and creamy.
7. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
